Firefox pausing, blocking frequently

Firefox 7.01 on Mac OS 10.6.8

Frequent pauses, blocking all other activity - CPU usage pegged at 100%.

I have captured a good "process sample" and wish I could submit it to Mozilla to look at and figure out why the browser (or is it a plugin) that frequently blocks all other activity for sometimes several seconds.
